Swimming after eating, being stung by a jellyfish or carried away by the current. How to act in the event of a glitch during the holidays? Specialist Damien Mascret answers questions.
The little sores of the holidays are at the heart of the concerns of viewers. “I would like to know if it’s true that you have to urinate on a jellyfish sting or if it’s a myth?”asks Alida, 23. “It’s a myth. It comes from the fact that venoms are thermolabile. It is not with urine at 37 degrees that we will destroy them, so it is useless. Do not rinse with fresh water, because it bursts the stinging blisters and it will burn even more. On the other hand, you can rinse with sea water”explains Damien Mascret, health specialist.
“I wanted to know what to do when you get carried away?”asks Louis, 25 years old. “You have to get carried away, because there are three important points. The first is that you will overestimate your strengths if you try to swim against the current. The second is that you will misjudge the distances. The third is that the priority is that you have to keep your heat, and to keep your caloric reserves, you must not swim, do not exert yourself. You let yourself float “replies Damien Mascret.
Swimming after eating is allowed
“Do you have to wet your neck before going in the water?”asks Lou-Marie, 9 years old. “You have to get wet everywhere and especially your face, because otherwise there is a reflex that when you have cold water on your face, your heart tends to slow down. You have to gradually get into the water “he says.
Finally, Tom, 11, asks if it is possible to enter the water after eating. “You can go in the water after eating. On the other hand, be careful, you have to wait after drinking alcohol”emphasizes Damien Mascret.
